Explicit content warning
03/23/24 • 66 min
On this week's episode, we get downright filthy (yet educational) as we chat about the "thin gross line" that is the Bureau of Grossology and how they are the last line of defense against acts of gross themed terrorism committed by a rogues gallery of barely disguised fetishes. We are back grappling with the mid-2000s obsession with gross-out humour and edutainment with the aesthetically pleasing production of Nelvana's Grossology. It mostly holds up!
Episode covered for the podcast was episode 32 "Stinko." Directed by Kevin Micallef and written by Richard Clark. Original airdate October 11, 2008.

Episode 98 - RoboCop: The Animated Series
On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie finally put to bed the hot-button media debate of our age - Is RoboCop PoLiTiCaL?? While the Paul Verhoeven 1987 masterpiece is unassailable on this front, what about the oft forgotten attempt to soften the hard edges of the NSFW sci-fi satire for Saturday morning television that premiered a year later? What gets lost in translation when you take one of the hardest R-rated movies ever released that poignantly and painfully tackles reagonomics, capitalism, dehumanization, and the militarization of the police force and make it for kids? And the most pressing question, does this make RoboCop technically Canadian?
Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 4 "The Brotherhood." Written by John Shirley and directed by Bill Hutton & Tony Love. Original airdate October 22, 1988.

Episode 100 - Being Ian
For the 100th episode of Cartoon Night in Canada, Chris and Sylvie tackle a big hitter in the Canadian cartoon canon. A formative series for both hosts whose latent film buff personas could be traced partially back to it, it seemed like the only choice for a milestone episode to finally cover personal favourite Being Ian. A hilariously relatable portrait of an amateur filmmaker finding his way against his disapproving family, essentially Being Ian is Ian James Corlett's The Fabelmans.
